It sparkles, it shines, it creates dimension, movement, and we can stare at it for days. You guessed it, glitter is king when it comes to getting all dolled up for New Year's.

But just like with everything else, there is a right way, and there is a wrong way to wear this festive little texture. Che out our simple tips to keep in mind when you're applying your chosen shade of sequined makeup:

Do Think Outside The Box. You don't have to choose a typical silver or gold. We personally recommend trying something unexpected or super chic like the Color of the Year 2015 Marsala. So long as it compliments your outfit, any glitter goes because the shine will speak for itself.

Do Ensure You Have Fun! How can you not enjoy the most fun, shiny texture there is? Just like the ball that drops at midnight, light up your look with the prettiest glitter you can find!

Happy 2015!
